More screens and art at the official site

- purchase an amiibo figure starting on January 28th (in Japan)
- download (with codes) Mini Mario & Friends at no extra cost
- plans to distribute Mini Mario & Friends on the eShop for free at some point in the future
- 322MB on Wii U
- 3DS download is 2,400 blocks
- Touch an amiibo and characters from the toys will appear
- Use the touchscreen to lead them to the goal
- Can use any amiibo
- If you use anything other than Mario and Donkey Kong series (Kid Icarus, Link, etc.) the toy character will default into a generic robot named “Mini Spec”
- Using amiibos from Mario and Donkey Kong series will generate unique toy characters
- The toy character will automatically move forward in courses riddled with traps like pitfalls and enemies
- Draw bridges, add/remove pipes and blocks, etc. to help toys reach the goal
- Some amiibo have special abilities
- There are also special stages that can only be accessed with these special abilities
- Ex: there’s a special goal in a stage that is only reachable with Mini Mario’s wall jump
- When you reach this goal, you’ll go through a special stage exclusive to Mini Mario
- The total number of stages here is over 60
- Mini Mario: Can wall jump
- Mini Luigi: Can jump higher than other toy characters
- Mini Peach: Can float for a short distance
- Mini Toad: Can shrink himself, allowing to pass through small gaps
- Mini Donkey Kong: Can climb steep hills
- Mini Diddy Kong: Can cling on platforms when falling then climb back to it (Note: does not apply to platforms of the same height before falling)
- Mini Bowser: When falling from a cliff, will do a stomping jump (which seems to destroy fragile bricks)
- Mini Bowser Jr: Can walk on spikes
- Mini Yoshi: Can eat some enemies
- Mini Rosalina: Can do a super jump next to a wall
